Birthday Piñata - Stampin' Up! Taco Fiesta

 I've been down and out with Covid for the last week so I haven't had much time in the stamp room but I had to rally myself for this card today because I'm a Guest Designer over at As You See It Challenge!  It's so exciting to be asked to join this fun challenge after this card was a top pick a few weeks back.  For this challenge the team has a recipe for us to use!  All 5 elements on the graphic must be included as part of the design of your card.  


  I ended up starting my card by finding the only current plaid DSP I had in my stash!  I knew I had some retired Christmas themed plaids but I'm not ready for all that in February!  This pretty Daffodil Delight plaid can be found in the Bee Mine DSP.  It's a versatile design that works for more than just Valentine's day.


    The rest of the card came together using colors that worked with the Daffodil Delight and then bringing in each ingredient from the recipe list.

  For the die cut element I went with 3 Stylish Shapes die cut circles.  The largest one in Pool Party is also embossed with the Sale-a-bration (SAB) Softly Sophisticated embossing folder so that takes care of the embossing folder ingredient.

  The piñata from the Taco Fiesta stamp set is stamped in Memento black and colored in with Blends markers and fussy cut and popped up on a Basic White circle.  The sentiment from Zany Zoo is stamped in Versamark on a Flirty Flamingo circle and heat embossed in white.

  For the last 2 ingredients (twine/ribbon and rhinestones/dots) I used long retired Pool Party baker's twine to "hang" the piñata and 2 SAB Opaque Faceted Gems in Pool Party.

  All of the current supplies used to make this card can be purchased or earned for free with purchase in my ONLINE STORE.

  I hope to see your card made with this fun recipe in the As You See It Challenge gallery!  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?

  1. So sorry to hear you've been under the weather with Covid Amanda - hoping you're feeling a little better now. You managed to create a gorgeous card in spite of not feeling 100% - this fresh, colourful creation is a delight! I love that pinata (this is still one of my under-used sets!) and the baker's twine is a fun touch, as is the trio circle layout! I might have to CASE this one!! So happy you could join us as a guest over at As You See It - always a delight to have you play along!

  2. This card is such a delight, Amanda! I love your little pinata, and the way you've incorporated all the elements of the challenge without looking Scottish at all!! It's those beautiful spring colours that did it! I'm so sorry you had to fight Covid to be able to finish this card. I hope you're feeling better now. We really enjoyed having you as a guest designer at As You See It! Thank you!
